by In the eighth match of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021, Sri Lanka and Ireland will square off against each other for a place in the super 12’s. If Lankan lions wins today then they will ensure a place in the next stage of this tournament because their current net run rate is very good. But definitely Ireland is not a team which can be underestimated because they have some top rated batsman in their squad.
Ireland wins the toss after which they opted to bowl first. This is what Irish captain Andrew Balbirnie said during the coin toss, “We are going to bowl first, it’s our first night game. Hopefully we can make use of the dew factor. We need to be a bit smart, doesn’t matter if we bat or bowl first. Young comes in.” Sri Lanka has not made any change to their playing xi.
